There's that dnf swap command which is supposed to take care of
replacing one package with the other. It ought to avoid the system
wanting to remove Gnome.
e.g. dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire (or something very much like that).
Considering pulseaudio is being deprecated, maybe you should try seeing
if pipewire works better for you.
With an out of the box install of F37, either both packages were
installed and conflicting with each other or pipewire was installed its
own and it would not play any videos at all unless I muted the audio in
the video. Having installed pulseaudio as well and using it for videos,
the videos play with audio enabled, but I have to keep switching between
analog and digital to keep playing the videos and if I pause a video and
resume it I have to switch between analog and digital for the video to
continue to play "properly". I've also seen an article on the web, which
I think I bookmarked, specifying a whole raft of configuration settings
that potentially need to be set to get pipewire to work properly.
